Features: A contemporary urban beggar documentary collection, a shocking and heart-stirring masterpiece. Renowned journalists resigned from their jobs to become beggars, providing absolute first-hand materials, exposing the origins, lives, and inner desires of beggars. Why did they “become” beggars, and why did they have to resign from their jobs and lose their livelihoods? This book provides clear explanations. We overcame concerns about unemployment and criticism from family and friends, completing an experience that many people find difficult to understand. We roamed the three towns of Wuhan, living rough and doing our best to find and contact the homeless and beggars. They are “a vast, scattered tribe.” Among the various beggars, who are genuine, and who are fake? What secrets lie behind them? We share the truth of what we saw and experienced. This book is a collection that tells the story of several journalists infiltrating the bottom of society, obtaining first-hand information from the beggar community, and analyzing some social issues.
